     its full title is "the life and death of mr. Badman; presented to the world in a familiar dialogue between mr. wiseman and mr. attentive". it is written by John bunyan in 1680. It was designed as a companion to "the pilgrim progress". the two characters have a dialogue about sin and redemption over the course of a long day. "the holy war" is a novel written by John bunyan in 1682. it's full title is " the holy war made by king shaddai upon diabolus, to regain the metropolis of the world, or the losing and taking again of the town of mansoul" . This novel, written in the form of an allegory, tells the story of the town "Mansoul" (Man's soul). Though this town is perfect and bears the image of Shaddai (Almighty), it is deceived to rebel and throw off his gracious rule, replacing it instead with the rule of Diabolus. Though Mansoul has rejected the Kingship of Shaddai, he sends his son Emmanuel to reclaim it.
